"It'll definitely be a sexy season, because the men are so sexy," she joked. "I mean, I wanted their shirts off all the time because they all look so good! So yeah, hot tub, pool - any outdoor activity that requires shirts off."

However, Hartsock explained that the season will also have some very emotional moments.

"It's safe to say there will be a lot of tears," she said. "And, you know, some of those tears are happy tears and some are just stressful tears."

She added: "I knew it was going to be emotionally challenging, but I knew what I was getting into and I was ready for it."
